The police enlisted the services of a half-caste named Barlow, who went to Te Kuiti . tirading for pigs with Winiata, supplying •' him with grog and making himself generally agreeable, and having ingtabated himself in this way, in Winiata’s confidence,he induced him tocome V mto his (Barlow’s) settlement, twenty- . hve miles distant from Kikikihi. Here Barlow, who is a very powerful man, • seized him and conveyed him single-

handed to Te Awamutu, where he delivered him to the local police. He will be brought up before the Bench at Hamilton to-day.
